Does chlorine really kill off urine?
Chlorine combines with organic compounds (urine, sweat, saliva, other bodily fluid/mucous) to form THMs, which causes cancer. While sweat and saliva are unavoidable in the pool, whether the pool is contaminated by urine or *** :eek: depends on what the swimmers decide to do. Needless to say, the amount of urine of just one person is probably more than the sweat of all swimmers in the pool combined.
